The Environmental Concerns series opens October 9 at 7:30 at Northbrae Community Church with Edward Burgess, who will speak about what some key states, including California, are doing about clean energy at a time that the US has withdrawn from the Paris Climate accord.
Please let us know if you plan to come to his free, accessible, public event by registering here with Eventbrite.
Mr Burgess will focus on both strategy and technology. Burgess’s work is highly relevant to the League’s efforts to limit greenhouse gases and limit global warming. Most recently, LWVBAE has been working with our cities to modify their utility user tax structures so they will discourage use of natural gas and encourage use of the much-less- polluting electricity.
